Evidence-Based & Data Based Instruction

• using interventions based on scientific proof of effectiveness

• providing interventions that match unique student needs

• analyzing data from student response to intervention to determine

  • appropriateness of intervention

  • magnitude/rate of growth

Teaching Letter Sounds

• Begin with a small set of items. (ex. s, a, t, p, i, n)

Establishing Letter/Sound/Name Relationship: Accuracy

• Practice in two directions

  • visual for letter to sound

  • auditory for sound to letter

• Establishing Letter/Sound/Name Relationships: Automaticity

  • automatically respond with sound when shown letter

  • automatically write and/or name letter when given the sound

Activities to support strategy:

• Alphabet Learning Sequence

• Letter Books

• Intentional Teaching Card (ITC)

  • 12 Same Sound Sort - Begin with one beginning letter sound /s/ and sort objects/visuals by /s/ and not /s/. Then introduce /t/ and sort by /s/ and /t/ sounds. Continue adding comparisons using one known sound and one new sound.
